Bug#329292: vim-full: Kde "open with" menu entry broken

Package: vim-full
Version: 1:6.3-086+1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


The file /usr/share/applications/gvim.desktop launches gvim without -f.

This breaks using gvim as the default text editor, or via "open with"
from other kde applications.  Typically these will write to a temporary
file, spawn gvim, then delete the temporary file when gvim "exits".
When launched without -f gvim detaches immediately, so the controlling
process deletes the temporary file before gvim gets chance to read it.

The fix is to add -f to the gvim commandline.  Attached patch does this.
